note 58548 added to function.mail

I just can't seem to get the mail() function to work on my server. I'm running Apache 2.x and php 5 on a windows XP machine. I've tried everything. The forms that include the mail function work fine, and says mail is sent however it never sends. I tried to manually code the mail() function and it doesn't send. I even tried email() and that won't work either. Do I need to set up a mail server on that machine? Or is there something else that i'm missing?
